Adam Ferrara LIVE at Yuk Yuk’s Ajax!Friday, February 24 & Saturday, February 25!

Adam Ferrara, the stand-up comedian and actor who Entertainment Weekly dubbed “hilarious,” proudly played Chief Needles Nelson on the Emmy® nominated FX drama Rescue Me. He has also costarred alongside Kevin James in the hit movie Paul Blart: Mall Cop and in Definitely Maybe with Ryan Reynolds and Isla Fisher.

Adam’s third comedy special is entitled Funny as Hell where he brings the stage to life with his honest, clever and fearless perspective on family, relationships and himself.

Ferrara began his TV career on NBC’s Caroline in the City. Since then, he has appeared as a series regular in the critically acclaimed ABC series The Job, which also starred Denis Leary. He also guest-starred on NBC’s Law & Order and was a frequent guest star on the CBS hit The King of Queens and ABC’s Ugly Betty. At a Television Critics Association (TCA) press tour, Denis Leary was quoted as saying, “Adam Ferrara is a great comedian, but he’s really pissing me off now because he’s become such a great dramatic actor.”

Apart from opening for his comedy idol, George Carlin, and performing at both Carnegie Hall and Radio City Music Hall, Ferrara was asked to perform at a benefit for the President and all of the Senators. Stuck in traffic on the way to the event, Ferrara quipped, “I’m still moving faster than Congress.”

“For a lot of his fans, Adam Ferrara is known mainly for his acting roles on the acclaimed TV shows “Rescue Me” and “Nurse Jackie,” and as a co-host behind the wheel of the American version of “Top Gear.” But underneath all that, he thinks of himself first as a comic.” – Steve Appleford, Los Angeles Times

“He is a literate and thoughtful comedian and performer- the more you studied in school, the funnier you will think he is. And there is a lot of thought that goes into the comedy and the drama.” – Eddie Friedfeld, Cinema Retro

“Everything he says isn’t just amusing, but something to which the audience can relate, and will more than likely agree with, too. Never taking himself too seriously, Ferrara is also willing to be self-deprecating, poking fun at himself, his relationship and his family. All of his material is delivered with the perfect timing and energy of someone who knows how to perform to a live audience. You’ll be lucky if you get through the set without spitting your drink in laughter.” – Brittany Frederick, AXS.com
